A reply by RedCode Interactive to a comment on the Youtube Preview (which you can find on previously linked page, along with download links) gives a brief summary of how this album came to be.

Quote:
At first, Suntarys (Vincent Séjourné) had the project of recreating them one by one, but it was too much time consuming and not easy at all. That's when his friend managed to get in contact with Gigi Meroni, the original composer. Turns out he learned that those musics were still in the original tape Gigi Meroni worked 20 years earlier ( = during MGS development) and in his possession. That's when Gigi Meroni agreed on releasing them, so we could get and upload them. TL;DR: Original composer kept the original tapes with the music and Suntarys's friend asked him if he still had it.
